Ribbon Heating Elements are flat and typically flexible resistive heating elements.
Ribbon coil heating elements are manufactured from Nichrome, Iron-Chrome, Nickel-Chrome, Nickel-Iron,
Nickel, Stainless Steel, Molybdenum, Tungsten, and MoSi2
conductor wire. Insulation materials used on heating elements include: mica, asbestos, ceramics, synthetic liquids, polymers and fiberglass. Advantages of ribbon shaped heating elements are the low profile, flexible, and large heat transfer area.
Applications: Ribbon heating elements can be found in plastic softening applications, industrial paint booths, floor heating systems, environmental chambers.
